fics below the cut (listed in alphabetical order by title)
Bruised Knuckles, Natasha Trace, @lt-natrace
Okay I know violence is never the answer, but Nat punching someone in your honor isn’t a bad answer, right? It’s also a super hot one.
Is It Working For You?, Bradley Bradshaw, @roosterforme
I have to admit I was late to the Is It Working For You? game, but no list is complete without Roo and Baby Girl. They need no explanation. I could (and will) read about them forever.
Mommy Kink, Natasha Trace, @dreamersparacosm
This one is so good. It’s so hot and the smut is so artfully done. It also actually is what gave me the inspiration for my Phoenix exes to lovers fic.
Rise, Natasha Trace, @ofstoriesandstardust
Phoenix and Hangman’s sister. What more do I really need to say?
Soft Touch, Natasha Trace, @bobfloydsbabe
Nat and Cecily have me in a chokehold. I get butterflies just thinking about them. Their pining is top tier and they are my everything.
Tailspin, Mickey Garcia, @joaquinwhorres
I fully believe Anna is one of the best writers on tumblr and if I could experience reading something for the first time again I would want it to be Tailspin. Her scene setting is incredible, her characterization is amazing, and the way she weaves a story together is downright insane.
Talk to Me, Natasha Trace, @autumntouched
Nobody writes Phoenix like Autumn does. She understands her so well and Talk to Me is such an amazing dive into her character post uranium mission. It will forever be one of my favorite stories.
would you like to go with me, honey, take a run down to the beach, Natasha Trace, @tulipsbymybed
Sinfully delicious in every way I think is the best way to describe this one. The perfect beach day exists and this is it.
you don't know how to keep your business clean, Jake Seresin + Natasha Trace, @coyotesamachado
I didn’t know I needed a Sugar Mommy Nat until I read this and I haven’t been able to stop needing one since.
Creator's Own
stop making the eyes at me (i don't really want you to), Natasha Trace
I debated it a bit but I decided to rec my OG Top Gun fic. I’m pretty proud of it for a first story I’ve ever written and I still enjoy exploring Phoenix and Kelsea’s relationship milestones sometimes.

It's never too late, my love, and for you, I obviously have some Cecily and Natasha 💕
from the culmination (phoenix x fem!oc)
As the canopy of Natasha’s jet opens, Cecily runs across the runway so fast she almost feels like she’s flying. Her feet carry her through the noise, the harsh wind splashing sea water in her face, and the shouts of her own backseater and superiors to come back.
But she can’t.
Natasha is right there and she can’t stop running towards her. Wouldn’t even if she could.
Natasha barely gets off the ladder before Cecily jumps into her arms. The thud of her helmet hitting the ground, followed by Natasha’s arms around her trembling body and soothing words whispered in her ear, feels like being able to breathe for the first time in weeks.
Cecily draws back and looks at Natasha. Her hair is disheveled and there’s a sheen of sweat on her brow, but she’s smiling, and it’s all too much for Cecily to handle.
Placing her hands on either side of her face, Cecily pulls her close and kisses her. She feels rather than hears Natasha’s gasp, but she kisses her back. Her lips are soft and plump, and Cecily runs her tongue along her bottom lips, teasing her mouth open, and when she does, her entire world explodes in fireworks.
Natasha’s kiss is like coming home.
A moodboard I made for/inspired by my bff/unbiological sister @sylviebell because in some Marvel universe, I can see her being a variant of Captain Marvel. Ngl, I also took a little inspiration from her Top Gun aesthetic /obsession too, like the two universes could kind of overlap? Her powers and origin are a bit different from Carol Danvers Captain Marvel because she's a variant, so, you know, there's differences; Her powers are more centered around kinetic energy than light/photon energy.
Sylvia, hello! Thank you so much for the birthday wish and for participating in blurb night. I'm pretty bad at writing angst, so I hope this is what you were looking for. Enjoy!
wait for me
SUMMARY: Cecily lets her nerves get the better of her.
WARNINGS: Angst, implied anxiety, denial of feelings.
WORD COUNT: ~0.6k
Cecily sat on the leather sofa in the rec room, fiddling with the zip on her flight suit. Beacon had wandered off several minutes ago, complaining that she was no fun to be around.
Cecily couldn’t argue with that assessment. She had moped for days, trying to shake the uneasy feeling in her stomach but with little success.
On the surface, she didn’t know what caused her anxiety. She didn’t know why her appetite had disappeared, why her leg constantly bounced, driving even the most patient people mad, or why she’d gone back to biting her nails.
Deep down, though, she knew exactly why.
As if summoned, the reason for all Cecily’s nervous energy appeared in the doorway to the rec room with a barely there smile, making her insides feel funny. She couldn’t tell if it was butterflies or stomach acid.
“Hey,” Phoenix said, taking a step into the room. “Mind if I join you?”
“Not at all.”
Phoenix made a beeline for the couches, and Cecily fully expected her to sit on the one opposite her. She didn’t, opting to sink down into the soft leather right next to Cecily.
They sat in silence for a while. Normally, they would chat away about even the smallest of things, but Cecily didn’t know how to talk to Phoenix anymore. It was almost like coming back to Top Gun had glued her mouth shut, making their shared moments uncomfortable.
“I feel like you’ve been avoiding me,” Phoenix said, finally breaking the quietness.
Cecily turned to face the other pilot, eyes wide and uncertain. “What? No!”
Phoenix quirked a brow. “Really? Because you seem to leave the room whenever I come in, and this is the first one-on-one conversation we’ve had since you were called back.”
Cecily frowned. “It is?”
That didn’t seem right.
Phoenix nodded. “I just want to know why.”
“No reason,” she answered. As soon as the words left her mouth, she knew they were wrong.
Phoenix’s expression hardened, and she stood abruptly from her seat. “Got it,” she said, her voice cold and even, as she turned and headed for the door.
Cecily shook her head before jumping up. “Phoenix,” she called after her, but the other woman didn’t stop as the door flung open and she left.
Cecily jogged after her, shouting her callsign down the hallway, but she still didn’t stop.
“Nat,” she tried instead.
It worked. Phoenix turned back to Cecily, who stood just outside the door to the rec room, but she didn’t close the distance. “What?”
Cecily stepped forward. “You’re right,” she admitted. “I have been avoiding you.”
She crossed her arms in front of her. “Why?”
“I’m scared,” she told her as she fought every urge in her system not to fidget. “I was excited when I got the call that they needed me back here. I didn’t know it was because you and Bob had to eject, and they didn’t know if you’d be able to fly.”
“Why would you ignore me for that?”
Cecily balled her hands into fists, biting her lip. “I don’t…” she trailed off, uncertain. “You’re my friend, Natasha. I don’t want to lose you.”
Phoenix’s jaw clenched, looking down at her feet, then back up at Cecily. “Is that what we are? Friends?”
Cecily gaped, not sure she’d heard Phoenix correctly at first, but when the other aviator turned around to leave, she took a step forward. “Wait,” she called. “Nat!”
But Natasha didn’t stop. She disappeared down the hallway and didn’t look back.
Hi Sylv! For you, I have a little Mob Boss Bob x Abby from the Penthouse Smut™. This is 18+ only!
He pushes her naked body against the glass. She moans as his cock runs along her soaked folds, catching on her clit that’s still sensitive from her first orgasm.
He fully intends to get her there a second time, maybe even a third.

As Cecily’s eyelids flutter open, the scent of roses and salty sea air hits her nose. Locked safely in her embrace is her sleeping girlfriend and Cecily tightens her grip, keeping her close to her chest where she belongs.
She wished every morning could be like this. Just the two of them waking up with the sun, no obligations and nowhere to be, no admirals giving orders, and no unflattering flight suits anywhere in sight.
She buries her nose in Natasha’s hair and breathes her in. She’s never felt more at home than she does holding this woman. They’d overcome a lot in order to get here, mostly Cecily’s own mind working against them, but they’re here. They’re good.
Natasha stirs in her arms, letting a deep breath escape that fans across Cecily’s hands before her lips find her wrist and places a quick kiss there. “Morning,” she mumbles, voice still gruff from sleep.
“Morning,” Cecily says back, allowing Natasha to turn around in her arms to face her. Except, her hair gets in her eyes, so Cecily has to reach up and brush it off her face with a chuckle.
Their legs tangle together, and Natasha leans forward, capturing her lips in a soft kiss that they both smile into, but a yawn from Cecily forces them apart.
“Sorry,” she mutters, covering her mouth to spare Nat any more of her morning breath.
“Am I boring you, miss Archer?” Natasha asks, twirling a lock of Cecily’s unruly bedhead hair around her long fingers.
Cecily shakes her head. “Never,” she whispers, kissing her again until they’re both naked and panting, basking in the afterglow of their love and the early morning is closer to noon.
Does MBB ever embarrass himself or get flustered in front of Abby? He seems so suave and debonair but everyone gets embarrassed sometimes right?
I had to think long and hard about this, and I have been thinking about it since I saw your ask. For a second there, I thought maybe I had made Mob Boss Bobby too out of character because I legitimately could not think of a scenario that would fluster him.
Then I remembered the type of relationship he has with Abby. It's raw sexual attraction at first. It's all about sex in the beginning, but the more time they spend together, the deeper their connection becomes. This is all to say that Bob gets flustered when Abby shows him genuine affection. Like if she brushes stray hair off his forehead, if she buries her head in the crook of his neck, if she kisses his cheek.
The first time she doesn't leave right after a hookup, and he finds her making breakfast in the kitchen wearing only his open button down and panties? He gets flustered because it's so domestic, and he's resigned himself to the idea that it would never happen for him.
In conclusion: It's the little things that throw him off balance, but he's learned to keep his emotions in check, so other people rarely know they've rattled him.
Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars.

A moodboard I made for my bestie/unbiological sister @sylviebell of her in the Marvel/MCU verse (a Captain Marvel variant; codename Captain Marvel or Nova).
